If the stomach is not good, it is difficult for people to live long. To maintain intestinal health, we must adhere to three points and two points. After the food is mixed with stomach acid in the stomach, it enters the intestines and is gradually broken down and absorbed. If there is a problem with the intestines, the body's nutrient absorption will be impaired, which can lead to a range of health problems.
If you want to take care of your intestines, you must insist on three points and don't do two.
The first is to drink plenty of water. In the first half of the intestine, chyme needs to be mixed with water and constantly move to pass through. If you don't drink enough water, the intestinal patency will be affected, and the stool will be dry and knotted, causing constipation. Drink enough 1500 to 2000 ml of water a day.
Second, stick to dietary fiber. Dietary fiber, like the powder in a diaper, absorbs a lot of water and softens the stool. If you consume too little dietary fiber, the intestinal wall will lack adequate mechanical stimulation. Slows down peristalsis. You can eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as peaches, beans, turnips, whole grains, etc.
Third, insist on chewing and swallowing slowly. If you don't chew and swallow slowly when eating, the digestive burden of food will fall on the soft gastrointestinal head, which will overload the gastrointestinal tract and even mechanically damage the gastrointestinal wall. Chewing slowly can reduce the burden on the intestines and make the brain feel full. Reducing the total amount of food you eat can help you control your weight and maintain your gut.
Try to do two things at night.
First, don't eat too much at night, eat less at night, but now many people because of work and study, etc., the meal at night is the most greasy to eat, and many people will even eat supper at night because of staying up late, which will bring a burden to the gastrointestinal tract, and the impact on blood sugar is also very large, and it will also affect the quality of sleep.
The second is not to stay up late at night, the most harmful thing about staying up late is that it will make us hungry. Now it's convenient to order takeout, and you want to order a late-night snack when you stay up, most of which are junk food. Most of these calories that should not be consumed will become fat on our body, affecting intestinal health and even general health, and the biggest threat is bowel cancer. After the age of 50, it is advisable to have regular colonoscopy, and if colorectal polyps are found, it is best to remove them as soon as possible.
